Arriva Buses Wales - Chester Depot

RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Chester Depot
Judging by the change of route of the soon-to-be service 3, I’m guessing that whoever does route planning took one look at how busy services 4 and 11 can be on the Broughton to Chester section - and how empty the 13 often is through Sandy Lane - and decided it’d be better off rerouted to where the higher number of customers are... to the detriment of the few, unfortunately!

On the upside, the timetable changes for the 4/4S will mean it no longer runs nose-to-tail with an 11/11A all the way from Chester to Hawarden. Every. Single. Time. About time they fixed this! It always struck me as redundant to time these two services within a minute of each other through such a large section - it’s pretty much half the route for the 4!

It also means that - combined with the 3 - the Chester to Broughton section will have a regular every-ten-minutes service! This is fantastic news for those in the Saltney and Hough Green areas - a much more regular, reliable service to/from the Shopping Park and the City Centre! ...Until they change everything again... ????
